‘The go-to guy for musicians’ (Legal 500 2025), Dom Christophers is an award-winning family lawyer whose practice encompasses all aspects of family law, particularly serving clients in the music and entertainment industries.
Before entering family law, Dom spent eight years in the music industry, collaborating with major artists and labels, and organising live events. His work on the influential case of CB v KB significantly shaped current practices in valuing music-related income streams during divorce proceedings. This background equips him with a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges faced by clients in the public eye.

This can create a complex position in fact and law.
